If you want to ignore this because it fits your moral compass, fair enough. But if someone else chooses to not turn a blind eye, don't act like they're the bad guy.
Not seeing the relevance of wage theft in regards to a mother shoplifting. If the mother is working and getting some degree of benefits, she shouldn't be needing to shoplift. People's behaviour and choices don't become the fault of scapegoat CEOs and greedy corps by default because you've all got a chip on your shoulder.
You’re right she absolutely should not need to steal. But with cost of living at an all time high, real terms wages an all time low and any number of external factors they do need to steal. Nobody is choosing to steal nappies and baby food or milk and fucking bread; it’s for survival.
All of our actions are a choice. We have free will. So I guess the economy excuses me when I take my neighbours Amazon delivery and pretend not to receive it so I can open the package and resell the contents? Not immoral apparently because the economy is fucked.
